#Chiefs scouts are in New Orleans today to check out the 47 players participating in the 2023 HBCU Combine.
The NFL world has scouts in New Orleans at the Saints team facilities on Monday for the 2023 HBCU (Historically Black College and Universities) Combine. Scouts from all 32 NFL teams are attending the second annual HBCU Combine on Monday, Feb. 20. This comes in coordination with and ahead of the HBCU Legacy Bowl on Saturday, Feb. 25 — an All-Star game supported by Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ 15 and the Mahomies foundation.
Brett Veach selected an HBCU player in the 2022 NFL draft, adding Fayetteville State CB Joshua Williams in the fourth round. Williams contributed all season long, catching a key interception against the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game. Could the team again turn to HBCUs to find a contributor in the 2023 NFL draft?
The HBCU Combine is just like the NFL Scouting Combine, but on a smaller scale. Players will participate in the same on-field drills and timed events as they would if they were in Indianapolis later this month.
